If you are someone who has been in a toxic/abusive relationship and has had some of you gaming equipment broken or otherwise damaged due to your partner, I'm looking to speak to several people about their experiences.

Hello. I am still waiting for a client to pay me a hefty check that will sustain me for a bit. I have to pay my internet and phone bills (the latter shut off, former about to be) and get dog and human food. If you can help I'll get you back. Thanks and sorry.

listen, not say that art from problematic people can't have value or be analysed, but i gotta say if you are giving this dipshit money or advertising space in a showcase in 2026, you can eat shit

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

would be pretty funny if Yorgos' style ended up becoming oscar bait. you get tons of journeyman directors trying to recreate DOGTOOTH
Saw a tweet earlier that casually threw Bugonia into the category of "Oscar Bait" which I think speaks to just how much the actual concept of Oscar Bait has more or less died.

can vouch for this - you want to trap heat in between layers. if you need to go outside for short periods - socks then wrap your feet in plastic shopping bags and then put another sock on over it
wear your bestest winter parka to bed. wear like 9 pairs of socks. wear your gloves and then also wear socks on your hands over your gloves. this feels stupid to even say because it's like duh but sometimes you gotta say the obvious stuff just in case haha
